Bring the art and mystery of Ancient Rome to your table with the Lady Clare Pompeii Small Placemats, inspired by the remarkable artistic heritage of Pompeii, Italy.
Located near the Bay of Naples beneath Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii was a thriving Roman city until the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried the city beneath volcanic material. Its remarkable preservation has provided an extraordinary window into Roman life, architecture and decorative art nearly two thousand years ago.
The villas and homes of Pompeii were richly decorated with frescoes, architectural scenes, mythology, landscapes, still lifes and elaborate ornamental motifs. Lady Clare’s Pompeii Traditional Collection draws inspiration from this fascinating artistic legacy, bringing the elegance and character of the ancient Roman world to the modern dining table.
Each boxed set contains four Small Placemats featuring four different Pompeii designs. The classical imagery is presented against Lady Clare’s dramatic Black painted background, beautifully highlighting the colors and details of the artwork.
Traditional hand-gilded edges provide an elegant finishing touch, giving each placemat the appearance of a miniature framed work of ancient art.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. The Pompeii Collection combines inspiration from ancient Italy with traditional British craftsmanship.
Measuring approximately 11.73 × 8.74 inches, these Small Placemats are ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and more compact place settings. Their versatile size is an excellent choice when the larger Continental Placemats are not required.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface is heat resistant to 150°C / 300°F, while the soft green felt/flock backing helps protect the furniture beneath. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the mats.
With their classical imagery and sophisticated black-and-gold presentation, the Pompeii Small Placemats complement traditional interiors as well as elegant contemporary dining spaces.
Presented in a gift box, they make a distinctive gift for an Italy lover, Ancient Rome enthusiast, archaeologist, historian, classical art lover or traveler fascinated by Pompeii and Italian history.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Pompeii Continental Placemats, Tablemats, Coasters and home accessories to create an elegant collection celebrating one of Italy’s most fascinating archaeological treasures.
